 "we all had an idol once in our life, and our idols also had them.

 

 it is a perfection that we can never  touch in order to overcome our frustration,

 we pray hard, trying to catch some divinity.

 the actual incarnation of our divinity is unnecessary, but faith is something magic. 

 idolization is part of human behavior.

 

we are unconformists as we aspire to something different than what we are.

 

 praying is absurd, luck is absurd, faith is absurd but worship is beautiful,

 

flowers are beautiful, coins are beautiful, candles are beautiful, white color is beautiful; 
offerings are just an externalization of our need, a result of desire. 

 

the offerings are vows to our idols and transform life. in choosing our rituals we win the favour of supernatural forces. 

 

decorate your life."
